Oh my word! I just know you must cut big chunks out of the first one! lovely fabrics.

Well, I gave it lots of thought, and the only suggestion I came up with is...send them to me. Lol! I love them. I would use the larger print in the center of a quilt, use black to separate the two fabrics, and cut the other one leugthwise to use as the framing border. It would have a wonderful Spanish or Moorish tile look. I would use the design of the larger print as the quilting lines and doo straight line quilting in the outer border. I would bind it in black. I hope this gets you thinking.

I love the fabric! I would fussy cut the main fabric for a large center panel. I would border it in thin black followed by the other striped fabric for border. You could also fussy cut some extra styling from the main fabric for corner blocks.

I wouldn't be able to cut the large print. I like madamekelly's idea. That would work best for me.

Looks like it would make a nice rug. (just kidding)

You have readymade medallions in the first print. Use parts of it and quilt it as you would a cheater quilt. Really good possibilities there.

They are GORGEOUS. I am actually buying some off a friend. Not sure what to do with mine yet either.

Oooh I want some of the first one, that's delicious!

I like everyone's suggestions for the second fabric, it would also make lovely bias binding.

For the first fabric, I like this idea from Jinny Beyer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTnGb-wUMsg
